Sinopse

"Rockstar Excess" delves into the often-turbulent lives of rock musicians, dissecting how fame, fortune, and a penchant for reckless behavior have shaped the genre. It examines the psychological toll of sudden fame and wealth, revealing how these factors contribute to a culture of excess. The book argues this isn't merely a series of isolated incidents, but a deeply rooted issue stemming from psychological vulnerabilities amplified by historical precedents and industry exploitation.

 
The book traces rock music's evolution, highlighting pivotal moments and figures that fueled its culture of excess. For instance, the pressure of constant public scrutiny often pushes artists towards self-destructive coping mechanisms. By weaving together psychology, sociology, and musicology, "Rockstar Excess" offers a comprehensive perspective, challenging romanticized notions of the "rockstar" lifestyle.

 
The book begins by introducing core concepts like addiction and the commodification of rock music. It then progresses through sections examining the psychological profiles of musicians, the historical context, and the long-term consequences of reckless behavior. It ultimately seeks to foster a healthier environment within the music industry.

    'The customs officer told me that I needed to leave samples of what I was exporting with him. I was forced to leave the floppy disk of the software with him. The diligent officer immediately planted a stapler pin through the floppy disk and attached it to the form, thereby destroying the media and rendering it unreadable. For the longest time, everybody's understanding of software differed immensely. This confusion continued into the 1980s, and it was getting challenging to grow the business. The more I met young software entrepreneurs, the more I realized that my frustration was not unique. Something had to be done.' 
    In the mid-1970s, a young, twenty-something man living an American dream threw away a lucrative job as a database manager and came back to India. At that time, India had no IT industry to speak of; computers were a novelty, and the nation was trapped in socio-economic backwardness and a labyrinthine License Raj. 
    As young Harish Mehta struggled to find his stride, he realized that India's nascent and fragmented IT industry acutely needed a unified voice that could speak to the government, change laws and harness the country's potential. In an unlikely alliance of headstrong and competing young professionals, he united other IT entrepreneurs to envision a world-beating association that would revolutionize Indian IT: NASSCOM. 
    The Maverick Effect is the extraordinary story of this band of dreamers who joined hands to transform a nation while also changing the lens through which the world looked at India. Valued at a staggering $200 billion today, the Indian 
    IT industry directly employs more than four million people. It is the largest forex earner and has helped millions of Indians beat poverty and rise to the middle-income group. Honest, open and inspiring, Harish Mehta's journey proves that no vision is impossible if unrelenting, kindred spirits unite.

    Award-winning journalist Bill Weir confronts the biggest threats to life as we know it and explores ideas for building a more promising future. 
     
    Bill Weir has spent decades telling the stories of unique people, places, cultures, and creatures on the brink of change. As the first Chief Climate Correspondent in network news, he is immersed in the latest scientific warnings and breakthroughs while often on the frontlines of disasters, natural and manmade. 
     
    After the birth of his son in April 2020, Bill began distilling these experiences into a series of Earth Day letters to his boy, weaving together worry and wonder into a poignant reminder that a better future can still be written. Life as We Know It (Can Be) digs into fascinating corners of history, psychology, technology, and Bill’s own biography to connect the lessons he’s collected from the happiest, healthiest, and most resilient societies. From the sun-powered town that kept its lights on in a hurricane to the Antarctic nests of the one penguin species thriving amid climate change, Bill takes readers around the world to collect dozens of practical ideas to help build a more resilient future.  
     
    Life as We Know It (Can Be) is a celebration of the wonders of our planet, a meditation on the human wants and needs that drive it out of balance, and an inspiration for communities to galvanize around nature and each other as the very best way to brace for what’s next. 
     
    “There is no other correspondent like Bill Weir, and there’s certainly no other book like this one. It’s moving, funny, frank, well-researched, beautifully written, and looks at climate change in a way I’ve never seen before.”—Anderson Cooper, CNN anchor, 60 Minutes correspondent, and New York Times–bestselling author
